French Quarter Hotels in New Orleans, LA
The French Quarter in New Orleans, known in French as the Vieux Carré, is recognized as the most famous and oldest neighborhood in the city. This section dates back to its founding in the early 18th century. At that time the French Quarter was the center of the city. Including approximately 78 square blocks, the entire neighborhood is a National Historic Landmark. In and around New Orleans are many golf courses including TPC Louisiana. This esteemed course is just over 20 minutes from the French Quarter. Play golf during the balmy days and then enjoy clubbing in the historical French Quarter at night.

Le Richelieu Hotel

Located in a fairly quiet spot in the French Quarter, this classic hotel is just a short walk from all the major sites and hot spots of the district. Le Richelieu Hotel is rated as a 3-star hotel. The owners live in the hotel as well and thus it is kept neat. The building was originally built in the mid-1800s and has been maintained in the classic New Orleans style both inside and out. The hotel also has a pool. No pets are allowed.

Ritz-Carlton New Orleans

The Ritz-Carlton is the highest rated hotel in the quarter with its 4-1/2 stars. Located off Canal Street, the Ritz offers a spa, restaurant and all the amenities that come standard with the Ritz-Carlton name. The only drawback is its distance from local attractions, as it sits on the edge of the French Quarter. Most of these attractions can be reached after a walk of about 15 minutes.
